Learn the language of FM through the Essentials of Facility Management, a workshop series to help those who are new to the field of FM, such as a new hire or to standardize the language across teams. This is also excellent for vendors to learn and talk the FM language.
These workshops focus on basic concepts that describe the field of FM and how it can be of value to an organization. The primary goal of these workshops is to address the participant’s role in the tactical planning for how to schedule and accomplish daily FM tasks that support the operations of an organization’s facilities.
Delivery of the workshops can either be in the classroom or through IFMA’s Online Education Center.
